Bears head coach Matt Eberflus expressed his admiration for Caleb Williams’ development during his rookie season in a press conference on Monday, following the team’s bye week after facing the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.

“You can really see his progress week by week,” Eberflus said. “Each unit encounters challenges, and I think Caleb is learning how to manage those situations. He’s improved in handling external pressures and executing the fundamentals of good quarterbacking.”

Against Jacksonville, Williams threw for 226 yards with four touchdowns and one interception, while also showcasing his mobility with 56 rushing yards on four carries. Eberflus emphasized the importance of Williams’ dual-threat ability, noting that his accuracy and timing as a passer, combined with his skill to pick up chunk yards on the ground, make him a valuable asset.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels’ availability for Sunday’s highly anticipated game against the Chicago Bears is uncertain due to a rib injury. NFL insider Ian Rapoport reports that Daniels is considered “week-to-week,” putting his status for the matchup in doubt. While the injury is not serious enough to keep him out for multiple games, his participation will depend on how well he responds to treatment. The game, which was flexed to a 4 p.m. ET slot, could showcase an exciting duel between two rookie quarterbacks, Daniels and Caleb Williams, if Daniels is able to play.
